I been working on mice this past weekend. where does the time go. I did nothing but worry all day Saturday and night. My daughters big dog Hurley was here and I hear this awful screaming, look out and Hurley has a little gray kitten in her jaws. Hurley is a mixture of pit bull and bull dog. I get the dog to drop the kitten and the kitten of course takes off. She went about 30 feet up a straight skinny tree. Wasn't sure how badly she was hurt. But she is wild, and scared and couldn't figure out how to get her down. This happened about 2:00 in the afternoon. Samantha and Chris show up at 9:00 that night to get their dogs. I told them what happened. Chris gets the bright idea to shake the tree, and of course have it fall into a sheet Samantha and I are holding. Did I say that is dark out. Well, of course, that didn't work. Told him I didn't think it would. Just made the kitten go higher. But about 2:00 went back out and shown the spotlight on the tree and kitten is gone. So hoping she climbed down, rather than falling.So maybe the shaking, made her realize she could climb or scared her half to death. But at least she got down and I could stop worrying. It is out of my hands now. But I can't stand the thought of a injured animal and a scared little one at that. Todd was even going to try using his tree climber stakes for his boots, he was worried too. But I didn't get anything done that day for worrying.But I did get an older pattern by Kentucky Primitives, made up some of these little mice. I love them. Had seen these for years and never made them. I think it might be a mice Christmas this year. We took the dogs walking and did my search for sticks along the way.
Then I got some mouse traps, that I purchased from Walmart and made some mice to go the mousetraps.I took styrofoam and cut it to the shape of a wedge of cheese, then painted with a dark golden yellow color. As they were drying sprinkled a little cinnamon on them to grunge them up.
